� The ICD-9-CM coding system no longer fits with the 21st century healthcare system. ICD-9-CM:
� Lacks sufficient specificity and detail
� ICD-9-CM is obsolete and no longer reflects current knowledge of disease processes, contemporary medical terminology, or the modern practice of medicine
19
Why is ICD-9-CM Being Replaced?
Introduction: What is ICD-10?International Classification of Diseases
Why ICD-10?Current ICD-9 Code Set:
� Outdated: 30 years old
� Current code structure limits amount of new codes that can be created
� Has obsolete groupings of disease families
� Lacks specificity and detail to support:� Accurate Anatomical Positions
� Differentiation of risk & severity
� Key Parameters to differentiate disease manifestations
20
Out With the Old!

� Provide more detailed data to better analyze disease patterns and
� Increase Tracking and response to Public Health Outbreaks
System Operation Impacts
� Improve operational processes
� Greater opportunity for auditing agencies
� Investigation enhancement
� Fraud and Abuse detection
� Streamline payment operations� Allows greater automation
� Fewer payer-physician inquiries
� Decrease delays and inappropriate denials
� Lead to better reimbursement
21
Why ICD-10?Benefits of Implementation
What Changes with ICD-10?The differences between ICD-9 and 10
� Differences between the code sets make ICD-10 look like an entirely different coding language
� Main differences include:
� Volume
� Structure
� New features
22
3/7/2013
12
What Changes with ICD-10?Revisions to ICD-10
� Information relevant to ambulatory and managed care encounters
� Expanded injury codes
� Creation of combination diagnosis/symptom codes to reduce the number of codes needed to fully describe a condition
� The addition of 6th and 7th character subclassifications
� Incorporation of common 4th & 5th digit subclassifications
� Classifications specific to laterality
� Classification refinement for increased data granularity
23
What Changes with ICD-10?ICD-10 CM Code Structure
� 3-7 alpha numeric structure
� Allows for greater detail
� Flexible: Allows for expansion
� ICD-10 CM Codes Increase
� 13, 000 Codes -> 68,000 Codes

� Codes are each 7 characters long (no decimal points)
� Each character can be alpha or numeric except I and/or O so as not to be confused with 1 and 0
� Each codes is built specifically for the procedure performed
� so that the coding system is flexible and
� allows for new procedures to be easily incorporated into the coding system.

28
3/7/2013
15
� Just like ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM is divided into an Alphabetical Index and a Tabular List.
� Just as in ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM codes are invalid if they are missing an applicable character.
� You search for a code the same way in both ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM
� Decimal is used after third character
29
Similarities Between ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM
� ICD-10-CM codes require far greater specificity and greater details in documentation.
� They provide greater details in describing diagnoses.
� There are more ICD-10-CM codes than ICD-9-CM codes.
30
Differences Between ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM

ICD-10 Changes Everything!
� ICD-10 is a Business Function Change, Not just another code set change.
� ICD-10 Implementation will impact everyone:Front Desk, Nurses, Managers, Lab, Clinical Area, Billing,
Physicians, and Coding.
� Know your role – How is ICD-10 going to change what you do?

What changes in the office with
ICD-10?
� Policies and Procedures
� Forms and Superbills
� Health Plan and Payer Policies
� Systems
� Prior Authorization
� Clinical Knowledge
� Clinical Documentation
� Training
53
Policies and Procedures
� Any policy or procedure involving a diagnosis code, disease management, tracking, or Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) must be reviewed and revised.
� If your privacy policies are revised patients will need to sign new forms.
� Vendor/Payer Contracts
54
3/7/2013
28
Forms and Superbills
� All forms will need to be reviewed to see if updates are needed.
� Example forms to look for:
� Advanced Beneficiary Notification (ABN)
� Flow Sheet (Superbill, Checkout form)
� Referral
� Consult Letter templates
� HIPAA Notification
� Lab, Radiology, DME orders
� Nursing Notes
55
Health Plans and Payers
� Patient Coverage
� Health Plan Policies and Payment Limitations
� Payer Reimbursement

Training
57
� Everyone in the practice will need to be trained
� Create a training plan
� Topics needing to be trained:
� Codes – increasing, code book and code structure will completely change.
� New/Updated Policies and Procedures
� New/Updated Systems
� Clinical Knowledge – Anatomy and Medical Terminology
� Clinical Documentation
Clinical Documentation
� Comprehensive Documentation Required for ICD-10 due to specificity
� Physician Driven:
� Starts with Patient Assessment
� Visit with Patient must reflect in the Documentation
� Not a New Concept� Aligns with Meaningful Use Quality Initiative
� Documentation Training in Medical School
58
3/7/2013
30
If it is not documented by the physician; provider, it did not happen; if it did not happen it can not be billed.
� The purpose in documentation is to tell the story of what was performed and what is diagnosed accurately and thoroughly reflecting the condition of the patient,
� what services were rendered and
� what is the severity of the illness
59
Golden Rule
� ICD-10 PCS Code Set for Inpatient Hospital Procedures represents NEW Medical Terminology
� Example: “A surgeon dictates in an operative report that he “removed the left upper lobe of the lung” � In ICD-10:
1. Removed = Resection
2. Left Upper Lobe in a Complete Body Part
� Therefore, the coder must recognize that the proper code would include a “resection” of the “left upper lobe.”
� The term “removal” now applies only to removing synthetic materials.
60
Provider Impacts: Clinical Documentation
3/7/2013
31
TAKE HOME MESSAGE� When the ICD-10CM codes are used at the greatest level of
granularity and laterality, they demonstrate the full degree of the patient’s illness.
� The processing of medical claims will be faster because there will be less need for payers to query providers for additional diagnostic information.
� Complete and concise documentation leads to correct coding and correct coding leads to appropriate reimbursement.
61
Clinical Documentation – Key Facts
Potential Documentation Problem AreasOne of Three
1. Diabetes Mellitus
� ICD-9-CM features 59 codes for diabetes, while ICD-10-CM offers more than 200 codes.
� The expanded diabetes code set has added a provision of “poorly controlled” to the categories of controlled or not controlled
� There are multiple combination codes (e.g., ICD-10-CM code E09.11 designates “Type 1 diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis with coma”).
62
3/7/2013
32
Two of Three
2. Injuries - ICD-10-CM features an expanded category for injuries.
� A seventh character extension identifies the encounter type:
� “A” for the initial encounter
� “D” for the subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing,
� “G” for subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing, and
� “S” for sequela of fracture.
� Coding professionals will also need to code the size and depth of the injury under ICD-10-CM which may not be captured in physician documentation.
� In addition to coding the type of injury, the cause of the injury should be documented and coded as well.
63
Potential Documentation Problem Areas
Three of Three
3. Drug Under-dosing - A new code in ICD-10-CM � It identifies situations in which a patient has taken less of a
medication than prescribed by the physician.
� The medical condition is sequenced first
� The under-dosing code is listed as a secondary diagnosis.
� The additional code explains why the patient is not taking the medication (e.g., financial reasons). Since this is new, many physicians will not be in the habit of documenting a patient’s
reasons for under-dosing in the record.
64
Potential Documentation Problem Areas
3/7/2013
33
Summary
� More detailed medical documentation will be
required to support the new code set
� Codes will be more specific
� Provider staff must be familiar with the new
coding and how it impacts your business
ICD-10 ALERTCPT and HCPCS Codes will not be affected
65
EHR Impact on ICD-10 Implementation
� EHR will help the transition but not a cure all for implementation of ICD-10.
� Is your EHR compatible with both ICD-9 and ICD-10?
� Are there additional costs to your practice to upgrade to ICD-10?
� What needs to be updated in your EHR each year with the ICD-10 code updates?
� EHR will not be a fix for specificity of ICD-10.
66
3/7/2013
34
Resources
67
What Should You be Doing to Prepare?� Know who in your office is coordinating or managing
your ICD-10 implementation activities.
� Assess your Top Billing Codes
� Utilize the Gem Viewer to convert Codes
� Start reviewing your policies and procedures to see which ones involve diagnosis codes that may need to be updated upon implementation.
� Assess every System, document that contains an ICD-9 Code and implement changes accordingly
� Assess your Clinical Documentation Readiness
